Bathroom scales, we all need to check out weight, but sometimes, there just isn’t enough space to accommodate them and they end up in the way. So, with this DIY project, we do a little bathroom scale makeover to make it more visible and prevent the chances of tripping over it.

ステップ 1: Clean and prep scale

Clean and dry the scale. Once it is dried, tape off the display and any other sections that you don’t want to paint over.

ステップ 2: Paint the scale

With your preferred choice of paint colour, paint the scale surface as seen in this picture. We recommend using a paintbrush because spray paint can sometimes result in an uneven finish.

ステップ 3: Choose a design (decals/motifs)

While the paint dries, you can work on a design for the decal or motif.

ステップ 4: Apply the decal/motif

Once you’ve found a design, if you’re skilled enough to directly paint it onto your scale then go for it. Another option is to print it as a stencil and transfer it to cardboard, after that, apply it to the scale surface. See the example in this picture.

ステップ 5: Seal the paint

Using a lacquer, seal the paint and motive and allow this to dry overnight, or a bit longer if you like.
